Several bills (e.g., H.R. 1908 and S. 1145) have been introduced in the 110th Congress that would make significant alterations in current patent law.

However, inventors and innovative companies in different industries tend not to hold identical views concerning the importance of patents, reflecting varying experiences with the patent system. Innovators in biomedical industries tend to see patent protection as critically important as a way to prohibit competitors from appropriating the results of a companys research and development efforts. Typically only a few, often one or two, patents cover a particular drug
